I'll always have nostalgia for this game as it was my first Wii game and I got it with the console for Christmas in 2007, but I definitely can't deny a lot of the minigames here are pretty weak LOL. Mario Party 8 is definitely one of those games that suffers from what I like to call the "early Wii effect", where they basically were doing everything in their power to emphasize the Wii motion controls and all the ways it can be utilized instead of actually trying to put forth a fun and intuitive gaming experience. And I think a lot of the minigames in this game suffer because of that. That said, there still are certainly some gems in here, and for the most part I can't really argue much with your Top 10, as a lot of the minigames you have in there would probably also be in my Top 10 as well. I'll still always have an intense hatred for Flip the Chimp though, LOL. As always Slim, great list and excellent video! I always appreciate the hard work you put into these videos :)
Hi Slim! I've been a Mario Party fan since the First game! I'm currently watching through your classic LPs of all Mario Party games! Btw I really enjoyed your Pokemon TCG LP. I really hope one day you can play the Fan Translation of the Sequel to that game. Thanks for everything Slim! Great List!
when i was a kid, i thoguht shake it up was the coolest and most fun game in the game tbh… i didn’t care it was simple it was just fun to do the shaking
I love Cardiators. While it isn't the game you want in a tight spot because it's luck based, if the AI are Dueling each other, Cardiators is the minigame I hope they pull the most, it's by far the most entertaining mini game in the whole series for me.
Will you do a ranking on Super Mario Party Jamboree once it comes out and you play all the minigames? I would like to see that after the game comes out.
The worst part about Cut From The Team is that it forces you to cut the ropes that fling you even when all the good ropes are cut... Therefore I'd put it as last place

@@Kevinn679 I just find it to be really fun. I’m actually one of the few people who will defend luck-based minigames, with a few exceptions of course. I understand why people hate them though, and completely respect that.
@@samisthebest6991 Some luck-based minigames are actually good because of the concept makes it very fun or original and also without luck it's a bit boring (ex: I like Merry-Go-Chomp [MP3] or 10 to Win [MP9]) but I think Cut from the Team sucks, crappy idea and it's just pain in the butt 😓
I was a little skeptical on speedy graffiti being really low because I used to like that minigame. I say used to because half the time, the game doesn’t pick out my inputs(even when I use the strat)
I knew the 3 worst minigames were going to be luck-based minigames. I agree that You're The Bob-omb is worse than Cut From The Team. I also don't mind Flip The Chimp either. I am glad that Boo-ting Gallery is still your best minigame in Mario Party 8!
Flip The Chimp climbed the ranks pretty significantly from the worst just like Cheep Cheep Chase from Mario Party 3, except Flip The Chimp climbed even more significantly. Also this is the first game that a minigame other than a 4 player minigame to take the crown of his ranking list.
King of the Thrill is a really cool minigame, but why on earth is this a 2v2 minigame? We’re all fighting tournament style and usually only one person survives anyway. There’s no teamwork either, why is this a 2v2?
This is the last Mario Party 8 game franchise that is made by Hudson Soft just like Mario party 1-7 and ds. Mario Party 9, 10 and all the 3ds version is bad a-lot of people hates it there dice blocks is stupid too you can only roll up too 1-6 instead of 1-10 the boards of it is terrible as well the minigame is good still but i rather unlock it instead of where is already unlocked.
to be fair, I never said it was a "good minigame" just better than what I think many (my past self included) give it credit for. I'd say "average at best" if anything.
